Coordinate Graph

Front

What is a coordinate graph?

Back

A coordinate graph is a two-dimensional space where points are plotted using pairs of numbers called ordered pairs, which represent their position on the graph.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate graph, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate graph where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate graph where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate graph?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (top right), Quadrant II (top left), Quadrant III (bottom left), Quadrant IV (bottom right).

How do you plot the point (3, 2)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right along the x-axis, then move 2 units up along the y-axis.

Front

Where is the point (0, 0) located?

Back

The point (0, 0) is located at the origin of the coordinate graph.

Front

What is the significance of the point (x, 0)?

Back

The point (x, 0) lies on the x-axis, where the y-coordinate is always zero.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, y)?

Back

The point (0, y) lies on the y-axis, where the x-coordinate is always zero.

Front

How do you identify Quadrant I?

Back

Quadrant I is where both x and y coordinates are positive.
